My son does the same and (don&#39;t judge please) even when swatted actually ASKED for more and didn&#39;t cry. I had him on ADHD medication (non stimulant) for 2 years with a psychiatrist that my pediatrican set me up with and they worked with me on costs. I decided this past summer I would ween him off since he wasn&#39;t in school and we have been able to not have to go back taking them anymore. He still has his moments but I promise you I am happier, things will get better for you, it does take time though. <br /><br />My list of things tried before medication: Vitamin E and C, no change. Taking away everything he owns to play with, change a LITTLE until he got something back and then behavior right back to before. Swats (spanking)listed above. Ignoring it, he just got louder and LOUDER until I thought I was going to go nuts. Sending him to therapy with a psychologist, nothing against the guy but he had NO clue what I was going through or what to do with my son. So yeah, I tried and can understand your frustration!

He has severe ADD and is suspected of being on the spectrum. Basically it means he doesn&#39;t live on the same plane as the rest of us. We don&#39;t medicate, we just endure. He is a great kid, but school is quite a rollercoaster. He has been on an IEP for his ADD and his behavior issues since the beginning of first grade, and it has helped (kindergarten was a NIGHTMARE!)<br /><br />I don&#39;t know if that&#39;s what is going on with your son because I&#39;m not a teacher or a doctor or his mother (and moms ALWAYS know best, thank you very much.) If you need someone to talk to who is going through the same thing, please don&#39;t hesitate to leave a comment on my blog! :-) I found your blog through the Friday Blog Hop, by the way!<br /><br />I&#39;m curious how this is working-I&#39;ve never tried what you did, but it sounds logical to me. Making him accountable for his behavior may just be the ticket. We&#39;ve taken away the important stuff to my son (DS, TV privileges, etc) and it doesn&#39;t really seem to make much of a difference. Sigh....

We have also taken all her things away and it doesn&#39;t matter, she physically can&#39;t control herself. I&#39;d talk to the pediatrician and see what he/she says.Kraus House Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202341154461834446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053187894549395684.post-83731214879856978502012-11-17T00:32:00.432-08:002012-11-17T00:32:00.432-08:00Oh brother, he sounds like a handful!Oh brother, he sounds like a handful!Kellie @ Delightfully Ludicroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226603919012169939noreply@blogger.com
